From the mail one gets when subscribing to this list:

To get messages 123 through 145 (a maximum of 100 per request), mail:
   <cygwin-get.123_145@cygwin.com>

To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456 , mail:
   <cygwin-index.123_456@cygwin.com>

They are always returned as sets of 100, max 2000 per request,
so you'll actually get 100-499.

To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345,
send an empty message to:
   <cygwin-thread.12345@cygwin.com>

I am new to mail list stuff, so please forgive me if I am annoying.
Does the above ever work for this list? If yes how?

Thanks,
Greg

It works. You need to know the exact message numbers, however. For example, your message (the one I'm replying to) was number 89194 (from the "Return-Path:" header). So, to get a copy of your message, you'd send e-mail to <cygwin-get.82194 at cygwin dot com>. Try it...

^^^^^ Ahem. s/2/9/. Damn those typos... Igor

P.S. The "Raw text" link in the list archives is your friend. ;-)
